nicknames?

Anyone else have less than kind nicknames for their kids but said with much love. I call my son Stinky butt and little butt (he doesn't have one, he has a big, girly butt just like his father, I am the flat butted one in the house). and DH calls him "Daddy's little butt-head" when he is being stubborn about something. Just wonder if its normal.

I call my 15 month old son "Stinky" all the time. He doesn't stink...except when he poops, of course. lol. He has a variety of nicknames. Unless you're calling him "shithead" or "little fucker", I really don't think you need to worry. lol.

My daughter was Stinkers when she was a baby ...which turned into Pinkers. Now she is almost 10 years old and we call her Pinkerton :) She loves her nickname and when I call her by her real name she'll ask what she did wrong lol.

My 3yo has been "Stinky" since she was born. Poor kid. My 6yo was called Squawky until she was 3 or 4 and answered to it. The older kids don't answer to their nicknames any more but Stinky does, lol. Usually she kind of sniffs the air and tells us she's not stinky because she took a bath. She's hilarious.
